Profile:

Despite having collected more than 60 first-class wickets up to the start of the 2001 season, Vikram Solanki is much more a batsman than an all-rounder. His off-spin is becoming an increasingly rare sight on cricket fields as the talented Worcestershire player concentrates on his batting. Indeed, in the 2000 season he bowled only 62 overs in the County Championship, picking up just six wickets. But he made up for that with his wristy strokeplay; he hit 1,062 championship runs at an average of more than 46 with his top score an unbeaten 161.

Solanki's highest first-class score, however, came the previous season when he amassed 171 against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham. He totalled more than 1,300 first-class runs that season, averaging 40.57. The Indian-born Solanki made his one-day debut for Worcestershire in 1993, but had to wait another two years before making his first-class debut. But by then he had already caught the eye of international selectors. He toured with England Under-18s to South Africa in 1992/93 and took part in the ICC Youth Tournament in Denmark in 1994. He went with England Under-19s to the West Indies in 1994/95.

Solanki stepped up to the England A team for the tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa in 1998/99, and the following winter went with them to Bangladesh and New Zealand, where he topped the batting averages with 597 first-class runs at 59.7. But the final elevation came the following winter when he travelled with the full England squad to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Much to his disappointment, however, he failed to build a decent innings in eight One-Day Internationals (24 was his top score) and even his normally outstanding fielding (he is marvellous in the slips) fell below its usual standard. The following winter he was back with the A team, taking part in the Busta Cup competition in the West Indies. (Graham Holburn, Copyright CricInfo 2001)
